With everyone arguing about Nextjs and Tanstack Start, I wonder if Astro is the best “one-size fits all” option. Built in content layer, Astro actions, caching, SSG, and SSR. I’ve been having a great experience, and it’ll likely dethrone Nextjs as my default framework.

I’m switching my personal site from Nextjs to Astro. I’m taking a break from React, ShadCN, and Nextjs.

So far, everything’s been great with Astro. Great break from React. In fact, I’ve realized that only 20% of web dev I’ve done in my life ACTUALLY needs React. That being said, React’s component model was what kept me in, and Astro is similar.
